“Handspun Hope” is a women’s shelter in Musanze offering protection and a future for roughly 200 women who have suffered abuse or are infected with HIV or hepatitis.
They earn their livings and gain new hope through traditional labor and handicrafts - from raising sheep to spinning and dyeing wool to making one-of-a-kind animal sculptures.
Even just €50 helps a great deal.
